I've always thought the swing tempo of this one made it one of the sleaziest sounding metal songs of the era

(wow, that "dirty love" one is pretty terrible and is more butt-rock than i thought it was)

part of me wants to post a y kant tori read video here but i think the stripper would put down her heroin and pick up a young adult fantasy novel.

billy idol is right but the song is wrong -- it has to be "rebel yell."

the stuff I'm posting, I'm trying to imagine the girl, and the boyfriend, and the heroin, and the eighties. It's sad, she was a stripper.

xpost, I'm thinking in the apartment after work, not on the job.

i'm thinking the girl didn't strip at the seventh veil or one of the top clubs, and she wasn't punk enough for jumbo's clown room -- probably some place a little out of the way but still in hollywood, like crazy girls on la brea.

excellent calls on both.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAaxFAC0DpY

feel like this aesthetic shades into Ministry et al eventually but maybe too aggro

if we're gonna go in a more punk direction, "sex beat" needs to be here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBDOxnIYyuU

also i kinda want to spend the day watching The Hidden and other 80s classix now

and if we're going to go in a more Gun Club direction, here's Tex and The Horseheads. It's another after your shift is over listen.

great thread.
i clearly need some faster pussycat/la guns albums.
(only just got into g-n-r after years of denial)

i love that thunder song! it's a great rewrite of 'animal'

Love this thread.

god Enuff z Nuff, ppl have been trying to shove that band on me since i was like 15, barff

i recently picked up a white lion anthology, but dont think they were sleazy enough for this thread.

its a thin line between 2nd rate 80s hair rock and the needs of this thread.

yeah i feel like some of the posts itt aren't sleazy enough

if we're being honest

I know it's a total sell out, but this tape was the first Celtic Frost I ever heard. I dug this tune and it's kind of unsettling sounding as Celtic Frost tends to sound even if a sellout.

Too many YouTube links messing up my browser here. But "Too Young to Fall in Love" had better the hell be on here. The darkest, most menacing 80s sleaze ever recorded.

yeah, crue is pretty much the alpha and omega of this stuff.

this thread also really highlights the truth of the spinal tap 'd minor' thesis

why is my favorite alleged "party music" of the '80s all in doomy minor keys?

could someone put together a playlist or list of this because the excessive youtube links keep crashing my browser kthxbye

(Yep, "Too Young to Fall in Love" is up there.)

sorry that these threads always turn out to be so resource-intensive. i should put together a spotify playlist.

Yeah, it's just embed overload at the moment.

Ted Nugent's "Little Miss Dangerous" is total dirty old man sleaze.

"Round and Round" an obvious choice but a good fit.

Babylon A.D., "Bang Go the Bells". Classic '89-era glam, with politely sleazy tendencies.

More sleaze than menace, Smashed Gladys:

This one too though, for real.

Oh man, I just rented Nightmare on Elm Street 3 off of Amazon for my kid to watch, since he's showing an interest in horror movies. Anyway, for reasons unknown, they replaced the opening song - Dokken's "Into the Fire" - with some cheesy generic 80s synth-saxophone pop.

Thank god they left Dream Warriors alone, but it kinda destroyed the mood for me.

Anyway, as much as I love Dokken, I'd argue that they aren't sleazy and menacing enough for this thread.

i can't load this thread anymore -- it crashes my browser!

points added for the Savatage shirt on the drummer

1990, so much for optimism
